Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the greatest shows of all time. It perfected the monster of the week format while still running a greater storyline underneath. It has some great characters and character development. And of course it has some big gaping flaws because Joss Whedon’s personality did in fact seep into the show. So I will be discussing all of it season by season in the simplest way possible. I am trying this thing where I talk about the things that I love but not in such an in depth way that they become homework for me. So in a very broad strokes way this is my Best of Buffy article for season 1.

The Buffy season 1 starts out strong and it does a great job of setting up the rest of the show. The characters and their relationships are all very well established. As is the show’s structure and pace. And it sets the tone of the show and it maintains that tone throughout (most) of the rest of the show. I will obviously also be pointing out the shows flaws as we go, I by no means think that it is a perfect show. However I love it and I like talking about why.
